"Ye Chenming's wife was personally found by his father, and she was also approved by my grandfather."
If you were truly betrothed since childhood, where were you more than ten years ago, and why didn't you come to propose marriage?
So don't treat people like fools. I hope you'll act wisely and not make trouble unnecessarily.
The two women looked at each other in bewilderment. They had indeed been betrothed to Ye Chenming since childhood, but back then, the Ye family had been torn apart, so nothing came of it.
Back then, she was also afraid that the Ye family would come to her door to take her in. The Ye family was already so impoverished, and Ye Chenming had gone to the countryside to become an educated youth. How could they bear to push their daughter into the mud?
So she married a man with excellent prospects and went with him to the other side of the ocean.
Later, his whole family took all their belongings and fled Shanghai to develop their careers on the other side of the ocean.
Unfortunately, whether due to poor judgment or being schemed against, they ultimately lost all their wealth and had to return in a sorry state.
After their business failed, their marriage also ended, and her daughter was kicked out.
Fortunately, their ancestral home was still there, and through their persistent efforts to find connections, the old house was finally recovered.
By this time, they were penniless and had to sell their old house to buy a small house, where the family of five lived in cramped quarters.
By chance, the youngest son saw Ye Ren's news on an old newspaper he found somewhere and casually mentioned it.
The old woman was intrigued. She suddenly remembered the absurd arranged marriage from childhood, which is why she decided to come and try her luck today.
Unfortunately, Ye Chenming was already married, and according to his youngest son, they had twins, a boy and a girl. The old woman was somewhat disappointed.
But her daughter was truly smitten; she had never seen such a handsome man, and his family was so wealthy.
As for that young woman, she was prettier and younger than me, but she looked innocent and pure, lacking any of my allure.
So she shamelessly pounced on him, but unexpectedly Ye Chenming reacted so quickly that she fell to the ground.
She had originally intended to use her pitiful act to attract Ye Chenming, hoping to make him feel sorry for her. However, the guy not only dragged his wife away but also became quite sarcastic.
"Juanjuan, let's go. Since they won't acknowledge it, we should be sensible and leave." The old woman left, but she had already set a trap for herself.
Ye Huixian sneered: "Don't put it so harshly. I'll have someone investigate your activities over the years. If any bad rumors about my Chenming come out, I'll have my lawyer come after you."
The old woman's expression changed, and she grabbed her daughter and left without looking back. The Ye family had money and manpower; if they hired a lawyer, they were sure to lose.
Before leaving, the woman named Juanjuan glanced at the stairwell, imagining herself walking out as the lady of the house.
Yan Xiaonan kept an eye on the downstairs and couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the greed in the woman's eyes.
"Chenming, they're gone, but I reckon your betrothed will still come looking for you."
Ye Chenming's expression darkened further: "Nannan, don't be angry with me. I really didn't know. Fortunately, we're going back tomorrow. Let's not bother with these rotten people and their messy affairs."
Yan Xiaonan nodded. Of course, she wouldn't pay attention to such things, but she still remained vigilant.
Ye Huixian is also leaving. In a few months, Tie Ge will be able to enter the country, and she needs to take care of everything first.
Before leaving, Ye Huixian warned Ye Huiguo to be careful of that family, as the Ye family's reputation was paramount.
Ye Huiguo nodded. He decided that after seeing Ye Chenming and the others off at the airport, he would ask his police friend to thoroughly investigate this family.
Yan Aidang and Ye Chen'er were waiting at the airport. When they saw the couple with large bags and small packages, they couldn't help but shake their heads: "Brother, Nan Nan, did you come back from fleeing famine?"
Yan Xiaonan turned her head and smiled somewhat embarrassedly. It was true; Ye Chenming had completely lost the composure of a young master.
The group of people hurriedly loaded the things onto the car and drove straight to the eight-courtyard house.
At the entrance of the courtyard house, Grandma Yan and Fu Qingping stood at the front, while two little ones, held by Cuihua and Yan Xiaoqiang, stood in the back row.
Ye Ren looked at these people, young and old, with amusement. Was it really necessary to be so nervous? But he also felt a sense of unease.
The black car slowly approached from a distance, growing larger and closer. The little ones cheered in their baby voices.
"Dad, Mom, Dad, Mom."
Cuihua and Yan Xiaoqiang chimed in, "Baby is so smart, he knew his mom and dad were back, didn't he?"
As soon as the car stopped, Yan Xiaonan quickly opened the door and got out, immediately seeing a large group of people at the entrance.
He quickly ran up and grasped Grandma Yan and Fu Qingping's hands: "Grandma, we're back."
He glanced at Cuihua and Yan Xiaoqiang again: "Mom and Dad, we're back."
Finally, he hugged the two little ones tightly and gave them a big kiss: "Babies, Mommy and Daddy are back."
Xiao Yushu's big eyes looked towards the car and saw Ye Chenming and Yan Aidang carrying luggage. She couldn't help but grin.
The most pleasant time was when they were sharing gifts. Grandma Yan and Fu Qingping held their favorite desserts, their eyes crinkling with laughter.
Cuihua and Yan Xiaoqiang looked at the scarf and belt in their hands with delight. These were good items; they were obviously high-end goods.
Ye Ren also received a Stik cane, which was exquisite and delicate, yet sturdy and durable.
Ye Ren sighed, "Using a cane makes a person look even older. With white hair and a cane, walking on the road, isn't that old?"
Fu Qingping laughed: "This way, we two complement each other perfectly. You use a cane, and I use a wheelchair. Isn't that great?"
Ye Ren smiled faintly, leaning on his cane with one hand and holding Fu Qingping's hand tightly with the other.
Grandma Yan watched with envy, wondering if her husband would hold her hand like that if he were still alive.
Bah, impossible! How could this old man hold his own hand besides a hoe? Sigh!
The courtyard was beautiful, yet it bore an indescribable air of vicissitudes, while inside the house, laughter and joy filled the air, accompanied by the screams of children.
"Wow, these building blocks are so pretty! Thank you, Dad."
"Oh, this dress is so pretty, thank you, Mom."
"Is this mine or my sister's? Oh, then I'll give it to my sister."
"Brother, this is for you."
Looking at their two overjoyed children, Yan Xiaonan and Ye Chenming exchanged a glance, realizing that carrying them back in person was definitely worth it.
Yan Xiaoqiang and Cuihua looked at the two large suitcases on the ground, filled with the belongings of two little kids, and couldn't help but shake their heads.
It hasn't been that long, and life is already so good. It feels like just yesterday we were patching things up.
